In today’s edition out outrageous employers – and you can find a whole load more over here – comes this employer who asked a member of staff to come in at outrageously short notice.
How short? This short.
‘Shitty manager tried to get me to come in with less than an hour notice,’ said YoloCowboy over in the corner of Reddit called ‘antiwork’
And they got just the responses they deserved.
“Could you come in?”

“You can count on me not working for you any more. You don’t get to blame me for short staffing yourself.” trayne13
‘I see this a lot on this sub, which frustrates me (and I commend OP for standing up for themselves and quitting if they don’t need the job).
‘You do not owe your manager a detailed explanation of why you can’t come in. If they ask you to do something that’s unscheduled as “a favor”, you simply say that you are “unavailable due to other commitments, sorry.”
‘If they insist, you can say “I wasn’t scheduled today and I made other commitments. Sorry.” That’s it! If they want to blow up and call you selfish and not a team player, then that’s their prerogative.
‘On another note – just don’t answer their message! If you see a message from them on a day off, don’t open it or read it! If they ask you the next day why you didn’t respond, say you were away from your phone. You don’t owe them your time on a day off. Jjustingraham

<h2>During <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/ramadan/">Ramadan</a>, the Islamic holy month of fasting, Muslims around the world abstain from eating, drinking, smoking, and sinful behavior from dawn until sunset.</h2>
<p>The fast is a time for spiritual reflection, self-improvement, and heightened devotion. While the daylight hours are marked by fasting, the meals consumed before dawn (suhoor) and after sunset (iftar) are crucial for maintaining energy levels and nourishment throughout the month.</p>
<p>Here's a detailed look at the foods that are encouraged and traditionally consumed during Ramadan:</p>
<p><strong>Suhoor: The Pre-Dawn Meal</strong></p>
<p>Suhoor is the meal consumed before the fast begins at dawn. It's important for this meal to be wholesome and filling to help sustain energy levels throughout the day.</p>
<p><strong>Complex Carbohydrates:</strong> Foods rich in complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains, oats, and whole wheat bread, release energy slowly throughout the day. They are excellent choices for suhoor as they help maintain blood sugar levels and keep you feeling fuller for longer.</p>
<p><strong>Proteins:</strong> Including protein-rich foods like eggs, cheese, yogurt, and legumes can help maintain muscle strength and stave off hunger.</p>
<p><strong>Fruits And Vegetables:</strong> High in fiber, fruits, and vegetables like bananas, apples, berries, cucumbers, and leafy greens help prevent dehydration and provide essential vitamins and minerals.</p>
<p><strong>Nuts And Seeds:</strong> Almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds are nutrient-dense options that provide healthy fats, protein, and energy.</p>
<p><strong>Hydration:</strong> Drinking plenty of water during suhoor is crucial to help avoid dehydration during the day. Avoid caffeinated beverages as they can lead to increased thirst.</p>
<p><strong>Iftar:</strong> The Meal After Sunset<br />
Iftar is the meal that breaks the fast after sunset. It traditionally begins with the consumption of dates and water, following the practice of Prophet Muhammad, before moving on to a larger meal.</p>
<p><strong>Dates And Water:</strong> Dates are a nutritious way to break the fast, providing natural sugars for energy, fiber, minerals, and vitamins. Water helps rehydrate the body.</p>
<p><strong>Soups And Broths:</strong> Soups such as lentil soup or chicken broth are gentle on the stomach after a day of fasting and help rehydrate the body.</p>
<p><strong>Lean Proteins:</strong> Grilled or baked fish, chicken, and lean cuts of meat provide essential proteins and nutrients needed to replenish the body.</p>
<p><strong>Whole Grains And Complex Carbohydrates:</strong> Brown rice, quinoa, barley, and whole wheat pasta are excellent sources of energy and help replenish energy stores.</p>
<p><strong>Vegetables:</strong> A variety of vegetables, either in the form of salads, grilled, or cooked, provide essential fibers, vitamins, and minerals.</p>
<p><strong>Fruits:</strong> Fresh fruits are a refreshing way to end the meal, providing hydration and essential nutrients.</p>
<p><strong>Healthy Fats:</strong> Avocados, olive oil, and other sources of healthy fats are beneficial for heart health and provide sustained energy.</p>
<p><strong>Foods To Avoid</strong></p>
<p>To make the fasting experience beneficial and to avoid discomfort, it's advisable to limit:</p>
<p><strong>Highly Processed And Sugary Foods:</strong> These can cause energy spikes followed by crashes, making the fasting period more difficult.</p>
<p><strong>Deep-Fried Foods:</strong> While tempting, they can be heavy on the stomach and lead to indigestion or discomfort.</p>
<p><strong>Excessive Caffeine:</strong> High caffeine intake can lead to dehydration and may disrupt sleep patterns.</p>
